Morris to broker peace in KP-Moores stand-offp

Morris played a crucial role in England8217;s return to India after the Mumbai terror attacks for a two-Test series and this is going to be another challenge for the respected ECB official. The daily quoted an unnamed source as saying that the relationship between Pietersen and Moores is beyond repair and their difference started long before the Vaughan incident. 8220;The Vaughan issue is something of a red herring. The problem goes back further than that,8221; the source said.

The report went on to claim that Moores could also face the axe. 8220;The decision will be the most difficult of Morris8217;s professional life as Moores is one of his closest friends in the game. The friendship goes back to when they played for the England Schools Under-19 side in 1981. Morris was one of Moores8217;s strongest backers when the former Sussex coach replaced Duncan Fletcher in April 2007,8221; it added.
